Six Times World Series of Poker Bracelet Winner Ted Forrest Charged With Theft and Use of Bad Checks

Six-times World Series of Poker bracelet winner, Ted Forrest, has been charged with theft and writing bad checks in a $215,000 tug of war with Wynn Casino, Las Vegas.

Could Ted Forrest do with a Bill Perkins overzealous prop bet right now?

As the weekend broke, Clark County chiefs issued a warrant for his arrest in connection with a couple of bounced checks sent the way of the Wynn in Las Vegas.

According to Dave Palermo over at Las Vegas Journal Review (LVJR), Forrest, 51, wrote two checks totalling $215,000 and handed them to the cashier at Wynn between Oct 28, 2012, and May 17, 2013. District Court papers show that Forrest didn’t have sufficient funds in his account to cover the amount.
